"Welcome to Fruit of the Spirit Bible Studies. This series was written with one goal in mind -- to allow the Spirit of God to use the Word of God to produce his fruit in your life.
"To get the most from this series you need to understand a few basic facts.
"Fruit of the Spirit Bible Studies are designed to be flexible. You can use them in your quiet times or for group discussion. They are ideal for Sunday school classes, small groups, or neighborhood Bible studies.
"The eight guides in this series can be used in any order that is best for you or your group."
Joy gives this study 3 butterflies (of 4 possible). We don't know what that means, but we're trying to be very helpful.
"What is this course all about? This course allows you to deal with relationships in a supportive group relationship.
"Who is this course designed for? Two kinds of people: (a) Seekers who do not know where they are with Good but are open to finding out, and (b) Strugglers who are committed to Jesus Christ, and want to grow in their faith.
"Does this mean I can invite my non-church friends? Absolutely. In fact, this would be a good place for people on their way back to God to start."
Joy gives this study 2 1/2 butterflies (of 4 possible).
"What is the purpose of a Bible study group? Three things: (and all three are important)
- Nurture -- to be fed by God and grow in Christ, principally through Bible study.
- Support -- getting to know each other in a deeper way and caring for each other's needs
- Mission -- reaching out to non-churched people who are open to studying the Bible and reaching beyond your initial number until you can split into two groups .. and keep multiplying."
Joy gives this study 3 butterflies.
